“This Bergdahl guy was in a Taliban prison for five years, and he’s now recovering in a hospital in Germany. The reason he is in Germany is because he couldn’t get into a VA hospital until 2020.”
–David Letterman

Illegals pour into USA – And Republicans in the House can’t wait to sell out their constituents by shouting “Let’s Make a Deal!” Of course, if the readers believes that a political system–or any other concoction of man (including churches)–will fix a spiritual problem, then the reader is bound to be disappointed at what’s coming up on the horizon. And after disappointment comes deception. Actually, the disappointment is because of deception, so both are present now.

A Sleazefest in Seattle – A similar story to the one in Las Vegas about police officers being ambushed. This one looks into the particulars of what was claimed by both the police dept and the Corporate Media.

A great many “Christians” in America need to stop what they are doing right now this moment and get down on their knees. To thank God.

For Joel Osteen.

And Rob Bell

And Rick Warren.

And the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Mormons.

And the pope.

And the atheists.

And the Church of Satan.

A great shout of praise needs to be lifted to heaven (or to someone) for providing all those on the “Obviously Apostate” list. Because if it weren’t for Osteen, Warren, Todd Bentley, Rob Bell, the pope and the others, who would our crack discernment teams write about?

If the Obviously Apostate disappeared tonight, hundreds of “Christian” radio shows across the USA would suddenly have a complete and total lack of programming tomorrow. Without the Obviously Apostate, who would they discern?

Visited a “cutting edge discernment website,” and there were all of the ‘normal’ discernment props on display for their “Christian” audience to see: the Spurgeon devotionals, the occasional reference to the Bible, and the obligatory pieces on Joel Osteen and Rob Bell and the emergent church.

Most of the people in the comments seemed to be giving each other and the authors the Internet equivalent to high fives. There is much congratulations and celebrations of the crowd’s ability to discern a wolf like Joel Osteen.

Now, Osteen IS a creepy, pretend christian–no doubt about that. In fact, it’s strongly suspected that he’s supposed to be. In fact, Osteen is so totally UNChristian, that many nonbelievers in the world have him nailed cold. But how many times do the “discernment ministries” need to beat that particular spiritually-dead horse?

Yes, there are people in America who are taken in by the likes of Joel Osteen and TD Jakes. But there is a big list of “discernment ministries” which have a short list of easy targets and no others. Every day, it’s another piece on the same group: Osteen, Warren, the Word-Faith wolves and the atheists.

Here’s a tip: if a person’s level of discernment is so nonexistent as to sit under a Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer or TD Jakes, that person is most likely NOT reading one of the cookie cutter online “discernment” ministries for guidance. Seriously, if a person is taken in by a TD Jakes or Joyce Meyer or Kenneth Copeland, there’s a fair chance that person isn’t even saved–else the Holy Spirit would be dancing a jig on the person’s head every time they turned the channel to one of those antichrist forerunners.

Witchcraft in the church? Occult imagery in the popular church praise and worship music? Counterfeit spirits and unbiblical practices and rituals taking place in the churches? Antichrist dominion theology invading the churches?

Not so much as a word about any of that–and when there is, it’s so empty and non-specific, it’s a good guess as to what the author/host is referring.

Cheap grace? Unsaved people pretending that they have an eternal fire insurance policy because they raised their hand or prayed a prayer one time? Popular Bible teachers exalted when they teach what’s in the Bible one day and teach totally contrary to the Bible the next (John MacArthur and just about any other media-driven “ministry”).

How many take on the science fiction eschatology that has ushered in a respectability for the occult, gnosticism, paganism and UFO lore? Wolves like Chuck Missler, Tom Horn, Cris Putnam, LA Marzulli get a free pass and their adherents spout heresies contrary to the Word of God as if they belonged in a Christian church. This crew serve as Nephilim pimps for the whore church. Fairy tales about the Nephilim serve as a gateway drug to the occult and Catholic mysticism–and few “discernment ministries” take them on because they know these false teachers are popular.

There’s not only fake discernment being peddled in America, there’s a whole apologetics industry which has sprung up–not to defend the tenets of Christianity–but to defend the wolves and false prophets and teachers who mangle God’s Word.

So by all means: throw another Joel Osteen piece on the fire.

Everybody come in close and warm yourself. Pat your neighbor on the back and congratulate him on his ability to “discern” good from evil.

And while the back-slapping and high-fiving is taking place, another dozen churches go down the tubes to the enemy.

Which, one suspects, is when the real celebrations commence.

[Discernment ministries most often are attacked because one of their “targets” has accused them of being “too religious” or “too discerning.” This writer believes that the evidence will show the real problem lies in the opposite direction.]

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

“And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.“
-–1 Corinthians 15:1-8 – (h/t:B)

Door to Hell – (h/t:F) The infamous gas field in Turkmenistan that’s been burning continuously for over 40 years.

The Door to Hell is a natural gas field in Derweze (also spelled Darvaze, meaning “gate”), Ahal Province, Turkmenistan. The Door to Hell is noted for its natural gas fire which has been burning continuously since it was lit by Soviet petrochemical scientists in 1971. The fire is fed by the rich natural gas deposits in the area. The pungent smell of burning sulfur pervades the area for some distance.

Satire News Websites Are Cashing In On Gullible, Outraged Readers – “Satire news” is another name for websites which lie and then blame the readers for believing what the websites print. When caught, the websites plead “we were just trying to be funny.” But they aren’t. The clue is: when no one knows it’s funny but the guys who write it, it ain’t funny. It’s not satire. It’s lying. But then, this piece is in the Corporate Media, which is the fountain of lies.

“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline, what follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master.” “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events.

The word rendered election here, (eklogh) occurs only in this place and in Ac 9:15; Ro 9:11; 11:5″| Ro 11:7,28; 1Th 1:4; though corresponding words from the same root denoting the elect, to elect, to choose, frequently occur. The word here used means election, referring to the act of God, by which those who are saved are chosen to eternal life. As the word calling must refer to the act of God, so the word election must; for it is God who both calls and chooses those who shall be saved. The word in the Scriptures usually refers to the actual choosing of those who shall be saved; that is, referring to the time when they, in fact, become the children of God, rather than to the purpose of God that it shall be done; but still there must have been an eternal purpose, for God makes no choice which he did not always intend to make.

The word sure, means firm, steadfast, secure, (bebaian). Here the reference must be to themselves; that is, they were so to act as to make it certain to themselves that they had been chosen, and were truly called into the kingdom of God. It cannot refer to God, for no act of theirs could make it more certain on his part, if they had been actually chosen to eternal life. Still, God everywhere treats men as moral agents; and what may be absolutely certain in his mind from the mere purpose that it shall be so, is to be made certain to us only by evidence, and in the free exercise of our own powers. The meaning here is, that they were to obtain such evidences of personal piety as to put the question whether they were called and chosen, so far as their own minds were concerned, to rest; or so as to have undoubted evidence on this point.

[…]

We can rely on no voice, or vision, or new revelation, to prove that it is so. No internal feeling of itself, no raptures, no animal excitement, no confident persuasion in our own minds that we are elected, can be proof in the case; and the only certain evidence on which we can rely is that which is found in a life of sincere piety.

Just so there is NO MISTAKE. A “life of sincere piety” is the transformed life. That is the only way a person can known he is truly one of God’s.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
–2Corinthians 5:17

There are MANY pretenders, false converts and tares who exhibit lives of “sincere piety.”

This is not the transformed, new life of the Christian.

NO amount of good works can confirm one’s standing with God. A new believer will have every aspect of his life changed.

This will manifest itself in many ways. Two in particular stand out. 1- A person will no longer be about the “things of this world.” The things of God will occupy his thoughts. 2- A person will begin to experience a loss of “friends” and others who were in his social circles. Most times, his social circle will shrink to a social one or two.

In view of the important statement of Peter in this verse, then, we may remark,

(1.) that he believed in the doctrine of election, for he uses language which obviously implies this, or such as they are accustomed to use who believe the doctrine.

(2.) The fact that God has chosen those who shall be saved, does not make our own efforts unnecessary to make that salvation sure to us. It can be made sure to our own minds only by our own exertions; by obtaining evidence that we are in fact the children of God. There can be no evidence that salvation will be ours, unless there is a holy life; that is, unless there is true religion. Whatever may be the secret purpose of God in regard to us, the only evidence that we have that we shall be saved is to be found in the fact that we are sincere Christians, and are honestly endeavouring to do his will.

(3.) It is possible to make our calling and election sure; that is, to have such evidence on the subject that the mind shall be calm, and that there will be no danger of deception. If we can determine the point that we are in fact true Christians, that settles the matter–for then the unfailing promise of God meets us that we shall be saved. In making our salvation sure to our own minds, if we are in fact true Christians, we have not to go into an argument to prove that we have sufficient strength to resist temptation, or that we shall be able in any way to keep ourselves. All that matter is settled by the promise of God, that if we are Christians we shall be kept by him to salvation. The only question that is to be settled is, whether we are in fact true Christians, and all beyond that may be regarded as determined immutably. But assuredly it is possible for a man to determine the question whether he is or is not a true Christian.

(4.) If it can be done, it should be. Nothing is more important for us to do than this; and to this great inquiry we should apply our minds with unfaltering diligence, until by the grace of God we can say that there are no lingering doubts in regard to our final salvation.

MAKE YOUR CALLING AND ELECTION SURE: The Gospel of Jesus Christ

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

“And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.“
-–1 Corinthians 15:1-8 – (h/t:B)

Will the reader respond? Has the reader responded? Is your calling and election sure?

Christ died to pay the penalty for sin.

He provided a way for sinners to be reconciled to a holy God.

Believe on Him, and you will be saved.

BUT, BE COMPLETELY SURE YOU ARE SAVED.

Jesus said “Few there be” that find the narrow path to eternal salvation. Most are far too cavalier about their salvation.

The gospel of Christ has the power to save you and your loved ones! But only if you make your salvation more important than anything else in this world.

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.”
—Luke 14:33

No sinner’s prayer, no pledge card, no altar call can replace the gospel Jesus Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
—Romans 1:16

Watchmen on the Walls

"Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;""Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand."
--Ezekiel 33:1-6More important than pomp, popularity, riches or recognition: we will be guilty of no man's blood upon our hands.
